During the Aug. 5 public forum, resident Kurt Vonder Haar announced that the World Famous Highland Speedway will host the World of Outlaws race on Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2024. He said organizers have camping reservations from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky and New Zealand and described a 2 p.m. fan zone, a beer stand and a live feed by 97.5 FM. Vonder Haar said organizers are coordinating with police — he referenced Chief Presson — to manage traffic while school is letting out.
Councilwoman Barbara Bellm and Councilwoman Sloan asked questions about ticket availability and community outreach on social media. Vonder Haar said tickets were still available and that while the Speedway has a large Facebook following, organizers had not posted the event on the community page.
Separately, John Kapp offered a brief report on the Madison County Fair and local vendor activity during the public forum.
